GRM5 pseudogene 1 (GRM5P1)

GRM5 pseudogene 1 (GRM5P1) is a pseudogene related to the GRM5 gene, which encodes the glutamate metabotropic receptor 5. Unlike the functional receptor, GRM5P1 does not code for an active protein product and thus is not regarded as a functional therapeutic target[7]. GRM5 pseudogene 1 (GRM5P1) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 11 that shares sequence similarity with the functional GRM5 gene, which encodes the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5[7]. It does not produce a functional protein, does not have known biological or disease roles, and is not considered a drug target[7]. Pseudogenes like GRM5P1 may occasionally be involved in gene regulation or genomic structural variation, but no specific functional data for GRM5P1 is reported in major gene databases[7][5].
